    摘要: A method and system to indicate which page within a software-managed page table triggers an exception within a microprocessor, such as, for example, a digital signal processor, wherein a software-managed translation lookaside buffer (TLB) module receives a virtual address produced by an instruction within a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) packet, such as, for example, a fetch instruction, and further compares the virtual address to each stored TLB entry. If a match exists, then the TLB module outputs a corresponding mapped physical address for the instruction. Otherwise, if the VLIW packet spans two pages, where a first page is present as a TLB entry within the TLB module and the second page is missing from the stored TLB entries, an indication bit within a data field of a control register is set to identify the TLB miss exception to a software management unit. The software management unit retrieves the indication bit information from the register and further performs a page table look-up within the software-managed page table using the indication bit information in order to retrieve the missing page information. Subsequently, the missing page information is written into a new TLB entry within the TLB module for subsequent virtual address translation and execution of the packet of instructions.

    摘要: A Viterbi pack instruction is disclosed that masks the contents of a first predicate register with a first masking value and masks the contents of a second predicate register with a second masking value. The resulting masked data is written to a destination register. The Viterbi pack instruction may be implemented in hardware, firmware, software, or any combination thereof.

    摘要: Systems and method for configuring a page-based memory device without pre-existing dedicated metadata. The method includes reading metadata from a metadata portion of a page of the memory device, and determining a characteristic of the page based on the metadata. The memory device may be configured as a cache. The metadata may include address tags, such that determining the characteristic may include determining if desired information is present in the page, and reading the desired information if it is determined to be present in the page. The metadata may also include error-correcting code (ECC), such that determining the characteristic may include detecting errors present in data stored in the page. The metadata may further include directory information, memory coherency information, or dirty/valid/lock information.
